Award-winning custom homebuilder Kenneth Vona Construction (KVC), selected Vollusia, Inc. to redesign its existing web site. The site, located at www.kenvona.com, showcases KVC's portfolio of homes, highlights works in progress, introduces visitors to KVC's preferred partners, and offers homebuyers advice on choosing the right builder.

Challenge:
Kenneth Vona Construction's existing Web site was out of date and didn't capture the high-end nature of its business. A Flash intro page frustrated visitors, and a dull color scheme made the entire site feel washed out. Also, KVC had no maintenance plan in place, so the Web site was like a static brochure, unable to capitalize on the dynamic nature of the Internet.

Solution:
Vollusia approached the redesign using best-in-class design principals, while maintaining the integrity of the KVC brand. Using the existing KVC logo and a rich color scheme, Vollusia crafted a user-friendly experience that would allow the builder's work to speak for itself. A simple Flash intro communicates the company's core values, without tying up the user's machine. The showpiece of the site, the Portfolio section, provides multiple, large images of each home, allowing customers to get a true vision of KVC's work. Vollusia also set up a maintenance package for the site, ensuring that it is updated with timely information.
 
Results:
Now in its second iteration, kenvona.com serves as a showcase for the builder's work. Visitors are staying longer and exploring many areas of the site, rather than getting frustrated during the intro and leaving. The revamped site will serve as a solid foundation for KVC's online presence for years to come.
